    It was incredibly easy to do and a refurbished pixel 8 is way cheaper than a new phone.

      They are also way too small in terms of storage given that they don’t support external cards (Apple is similar). Google/Apple definitely want buyers to also buy their subscription storage services or pay the high premium for the next storage level.

      I’m on an XR right now and it feels older, but still very much usable. I wish companies offered options to only get security patches instead of having to buy new phones every few years, that’s the 1 thing I hope Google keeps around and doesn’t walk back in the future.

        They come in as high as 512gb and 1tb. I agree that they should have microSD slots, but the builtin storage options are sufficient.
